German Millet 
CLOVER SEED—Continued 
White Dutch ( Trifolium repens). A small, creeping 
perennial of dense growth, invariably used in lawn 
mixtures. It is also of much value when sown in 
combination with other Grasses for permanent 
pastures. If used alone sow 8 to 10 lbs. to the 
acre, or 4 lbs. in a mixture. 
MILLET 
German, or Golden ( Panicum miliaceum aureum). 
A medium early, large-leaved variety growing 3 to 
5 feet in height.. Matures later than common 
Millet and is a liberal cropper. The heads are 
compact and well filled. Sow 1 bushel per acre. 
(Bushel, 50 lbs.) 
Hungarian ( Panicum Germanicum). Sown in 
June, this well-known Summer forage crop is 
ready for cutting in about sixty days. It is also 
extensively sown in July and fore part of August 
after hay crop has been harvested, and helps out 
the supply of hay immensely. Resists heat and 
drought well. Sow one bushel per acre. (Bushel, 
48 lbs.) 
Japanese, or Barnyard ( Panicum Crus-galli ). 
Very tall grower, often attaining a height of 6 to 8 
feet. A great fodder plant, and an extremely 
heavy yielder. Continues to grow after cutting 
and is extensively sown by dairymen and stock 
raisers. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre.

SEED OATS 
NEW BUMPER CROP 
A new Oat of great merit, 
producing its crop early in the 
season. The large, heavy, 
white grains are produced on 
long, stiff stems. The heads 
are very long and cluster more 
than the Swedish, though not 
a side Oat. The straw grows 
to a good height, stiff and 
straight, rather large and 
bearing large, heavy grains. 
The best yields are grown 
on heavy soil. The origina¬ 
tor of this wonderful new 
Bumper Crop Oat has this to 
say: “This white branch Oat 
took first prize at the New 
York State Fair and wherever 
shown. The single plant from which this stock 
originated, showed large heads and enormous grain. 
A grower who tested these Oats says these are the 
best Oats we have ever seen. We believe that it is 
the best Oat ever grown.” 
This Oat can be grown on rich lands and will stand 
Tip straight and stiff where other kinds would go 
down before half ripened. This grower has been 
growing, for seed, such varieties as Improved Swed¬ 
ish, White Tartar, Improved American, Golden 
Fleece and other well known sorts; but considers 
Bumper Crop far superior to any other variety of¬ 
fered. You ought to give this new Oat a trial; we 
think you would be well pleased with it. 4 qts. 
30c., pk. 50c., bus. $1.40; 2 bus. or more, per bus. 
$1.30. 
SILVER MINE 
This is generally recognized as a prolific cropper 
and one of the most profitable varieties grown. It 
makes a sturdy growth of straw, which stands up 
well, and the heads are filled with beautiful white, 
plump grains. 4 qts. 20c., pk. 35c., bus. $1.10; 2 bus. 
or more, per bus. $1.00. 
SWEDISH SELECT 
Of Swedish origin, and brought to this country a 
few years ago by the U. S. Agricultural Department. 
It is now thoroughly acclimated, and has proved to 
be one of the heaviest yielding Oats known. The 
straw is unusually stiff and strong, and the heads 
contain substantial white grains. 4 qts. 20c., pk. 
35c., bus. $1.20; 2 bus. or more, per bus. $1.10.
